(Ron & Russel Mael) In the city, in the country, in the towns throughout the world All will join in, in the big scene, So won`t you please take off your shoes? It`s a ballet, simple ballet, so let`s dance on Pick a partner, take a tall one, take a small one, take a fat one and let`s dance on Crews will film it, add the music while the world has its feet engaged Some critics love it, yet some pan it, some say "it`s likely to cause a rage" There`ll be long shots, there`ll be close shots, there`ll be mid-shots Simple ballet was an idea, then a novel, next a movie, soon on T.V. It`s promotion of a new way of thinking Instead of "Hey, orange drink," vendors will say, "get your souvenir posters of the ballet." Do a plie` for the D.A. when he comes round Your alleged conduct with the director has raised some questions that he wants answered (Good for the ratings) It`s a ballet, we thought a ballet and we danced on We had no idea you`d hang out your coat on an issue thin as tissue so we danced our ballet And we danced our ballet And we danced our ballet |
